All these people are highly skilled proffesionals (that should get you
going!). LUL want to change something, control centre staff are happy for
that to happen. Its just a case of both getting what they want.

What other options do signallers and line controllers have?

Perhaps they could just get on with the jobs they're damn well paid to
do and
knew the conditions for before they signed up. You know, like most
other working people
in this country do? Or are RMT members exempt from working to a signed
contract?

I suspect they care more - assuming the report is true - that *their*
lives are about to be screwed up by less pay and longer hours.

Ok , lets do this in simple english for the people who can't grasp
simple working law.
They will have signed a contract when they joined LU. If the contract
doesn't allow LU
to change their working conditions then they can take LU to court (and
the fact that they
haven't done so in apparently 6 months says it all). If the contract
DOES allow it then
thats just tough luck, they can either put up or shut up and if they
don't like it they
can eff off and get a job elsewhere. McDonalds always has vacancies.
